okay, not really. this isn't some magical thing that just popped into my head. it's obviously something that everyone knows, or SHOULD know, anyway. and that is that no matter what happens, no matter how many times you get shit on by someone, and no matter how unfair you get treated, always be the better person. growing up, my parents always told me to treat people with respect (even though i didn't always have the easiest time doing that, sorry mom and dad. :P), be nice to people even if i didn't like them, and to not do anything to another person that i wouldn't want done to myself. not going to lie, i've definitely felt like i've been treated really shitty by people lately, and it's driven me to the point of tears on more than one occasion. i've spent many hours and many a sleepless night just wondering why or how a person could be so outwardly mean to another person. i've basically given up trying to understand why other people do these things, because i will never understand. one thing i do understand though, is it's not my fault. i didn't do anything to deserve it. and i'm not going to do anything to deserve it either. i'm a firm believer in whatever goes around, comes around. so i'm just going to keep trying my best to be an example of how people should treat others. i'm not trying to sound like a saint, because i'm not. i don't even necessarily consider myself a good person. i'm just trying to make everyone else's lives a little less crazy and complicated, and if i can do that by just smiling or being a good friend, then i'm all for it. that's all for now. until next time... peace and blessings. :)
